Brennende Liebe

Every new year, people make the typical resolutions, to eat less, exercise more, be able to fit into your high school jeans, and find your true love, because, what better time to rely on cupid for that potent arrow, then then new year. You figure that if cupid would just get off his ass, and shoot the guy/girl that you been lusting over, he/she will fall in love you with you and you'll run off together to buy a house, get a dog and start a family.

Simple right?

But what if the person you love, is shot by cupid and they do fall in love..... with someone else.

all this romantic mumbo jumbo seems to be washed away by a self hate because you know the reason this person is in love; everything you see is "store bought" as my friends like to say.

and it's not even so much a self hate as it is loathing, because you know that you'll never look like that.

Nor do I want to.

I have been working on loosing weight, the right way. No diet pills, watching what I eat, and exercising M-F, so that way when the weekend comes around, i can enjoy a 6-pack and not feel the slightest bit bad.

It's the little things that make me smile.

But, when you prance yourself in front of everyone with a hinted vanity screaming "Look at me! Look at me!" I don't want to look at you and I'm saddened by the realization that the reason cupid shot his arrow into the other person, is because they belong together.

Vanity meet shallow.

Shallow meet vanity.

Here's a rowboat, I'm sure you can paddle your way into the depths of love's ocean.

I'm not biter though. Just sad and disappointed because the person i thought existed was really wearing a mask in front of me the whole time. If you can't be yourself in front of your friends, you never will be. You simply float your way through life as memory of a time that once was.

So my resolution this year, is to continue focusing on my own self improvement. There is nothing wrong with having life goals and making sure that you achieve them. I just wish cupid wasn't so damn clever.

Quebec Summer Festival

Some close friends and I decided last year to embark on an epic journey to Chicago to see TOOL play at the 2009 Lollapalooza. The memories from the trip, i will never forget. And, i remember telling them, how can you top TOOL headlining lollapalooza?

Easy.

You introduce Rammstein as a headlining act to the 2010 Quebec Summer Festival. So, in honor of our epic journey last year, a group of use are once again planning a summer trip to catch, watch might be the most metal and epic concert ever.

Quebec hosts an 11 day festival every year, where the bring acts from around the world to come and perform from all different genres. So far, Rammstein, KMFDM, and VNV nation are going to be there. I was going just so i could drool over Till, but i'll take as many germans as you want to throw in my face, fate.

So, this summer, expect mayhem, many drunken nights that we won't remember, and the search for BC bud. I just wish we could get paid to go to these concerts.

Which reminds me, we haven't been to a concert in an while. We should work on that.

Hopefully, the U.S. government won't fuck me over.
